If you want a very generic, useless response.

True, but college football is bigger than basketball.

I also noticed that I cant find that post anywhere on the forums and EA is deleting all "NCAA Football is dead" post on its forums.

The NCAA no longer letting EA Sports put their name and logo on the game will probably have a similar effect as if John Madden declared he didn't want to be associated with Madden anymore. They just need to change the name and the logo, but they will still have a college football game with all the teams and logos and everything.

This is wishful thinking of course, but what I read from Owen on twitter, that's what my understanding of the situation is.

i don't show as much remorse for them because the game is still broken and would have been around longer if they wouldn't have taken shortcuts... I dont' blame the devs mind you, just corporate. It takes longer than 9 months to finish a football game.

Lets just all take a deep breath and see what happens

I'm floored about this, but I knew scince the Trial this might happen. I truthfully hope that all companies could make it also the CLC can still liscence games just not with the NCAA LOGO, no Bowls etc
